Anyone heard from AG about voice interview yet for placements.

When did you do their voice interview and is it for their placement and when did you submit their app and for which office.

A long time ago, somewhere between December 2023 and January 2024. And yes, for the placement that will consider you for the TC, it was probably in the middle of the window and London.

Do we have to upload a cv for the freshfields workshop?

Thank you and was just panicking as thought others have progressed for this cycle since they are rolling.

Ah, I see; chill, they always have a lot of people applying to them. It will take quite a bit. Have you done the voice interview, though?

No just been sent the test and have been practising the test today. The test looks not bad from what the practice questions are but some elements of the test are weird.

hi, i hope you guys are good. i wanted to ask if there is anyone who passed the app stage with willkie, skadden, goodwin, weil or watson farley that could tell me what they think made their app successful, maybe with an example sentence if that's okay? i believe my apps are better this cycle but ofc i want them to be good enough to move past the app stage. massive thank you in advance

When would it be appropriate to ask the grad team for an update post AC considering it’s been one and a half weeks and most people from the AC have heard back with an offer or rejection? Would it even be worth it to email them at all?

I understand the frustration, but what's the point? It's not like they have forgotten you. Just think how many people send these emails during a busy time for them. Do you think they would be more favourable to you if you're in that annoying pile that they have to respond with: "You'll hear back in due course"? Just hang in there; they will get back to you when they do. Interviews are still in full swing.
